Verdict
At RM100,888, the MG 4 costs only RM888 more than the RM100,000 Wuling Porta EV, yet it is the more rounded Malaysian daily driver. Its 200 hp motor, 64 kWh battery and 435 km range substantially exceed the Porta EV’s 100 hp, 41.9 kWh and 300 km, while five seats, six airbags and 150 kW DC charging suit private use far better. The Wuling is a two-seat commercial with a 5,010 mm body and lower RM50 annual road tax, so it makes sense only when that commercial format is the priority.
Pick the MG 4 if you need five seats, 435 km of claimed range and 150 kW DC charging for private daily use.
Pick the Wuling Porta EV if a two-seat commercial body, 5,010 mm length and RM50 annual road tax matter more than passenger capacity and range.
